FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How long does raw boneless fish last in the fridge?

Raw fish is highly perishable and should be cooked or frozen within 1 to 2 days of purchase.

Can I freeze boneless fish?

Yes, boneless fish freezes very well. Wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn and it will stay good for 3-6 months.

How can I tell if the fish is fresh?

Fresh fish should have a mild, sea-like scent, not a 'fishy' or ammonia smell. The flesh should be firm to the touch and spring back when pressed.

What are the best substitutes for boneless fish?

Depending on the recipe, you can use chicken breast, tofu, or even cauliflower steaks for a vegetarian alternative.

Do I need to wash boneless fish before cooking?

No, washing fish is not recommended as it can spread bacteria around your kitchen. Cooking to the proper temperature will kill any bacteria.

Are there still bones in 'boneless' fish?

While processors try to remove all bones, small 'pin bones' can sometimes remain. It is always best to run your finger along the fillet to check before cooking.

What is the healthiest way to cook boneless fish?

Baking, steaming, poaching, or grilling are the healthiest methods as they require minimal added fats.

How should I thaw frozen boneless fish?

The safest way is to thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. For faster thawing, place the sealed fish in a bowl of cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes.

How do I prevent fish from sticking to the pan?

Ensure the pan and oil are hot before adding the fish, and do not try to flip it until it naturally releases from the surface.

Is boneless fish high in mercury?

It depends on the species. Smaller fish like tilapia and cod are generally low in mercury, while larger predatory fish like swordfish or tuna have higher levels.
